Making Your Vacation Rental Stand Out

Are you looking to make your rental stand out? There are many different things you should include in your vacation rental home to make it more appealing than others, lets take a look!

Upgrade Your Appliances

While not everyone may care about nicer, larger appliances, you should consider adding them to your rental. For example, if you have a family of 4+ looking for a rental, they would appreciate the nice appliances. Families taking vacations might be looking to cut costs on dining by renting somewhere with a full kitchen for cooking meals and storing snacks as needed. If you provide upgraded appliances and extra storage space, you could appeal to families or larger groups.

Offer Secure Parking

A lot of travelers are wary of where they leave their cars. They want to make sure it is not easy to tamper with, especially in unfamiliar areas. If you offer covered, enclosed or secure parking, you could attract vacationers who want to keep their cars safe.

Upgrade to Faster WiFi

We live in a world of technology and social media, so most people expect to have WiFi access. Those with younger kids and teenagers may appreciate the faster WiFi if inclement weather keeps them indoors. Having fast, reliable WiFi makes it easy to enjoy family movie nights at the end of the day. If your renter works from home, they might need WiFi to attend virtual meetings and complete projects. Upgrading your WiFi can improve their overall experience.

Post Clear Photos of the Rental Space

You don't have to seek a professional photographer to take pictures for your rental listing, but you want to get the best pictures possible. If a renter is scrolling through dark, blurry photos, they won't be willing to give your place a chance. If all of your photos are clear and well-lit, they will be more likely to continue scrolling and consider your rental.

Shop for Easy-to-Clean Materials

If you're going to rent out your space regularly, you want furniture and décor that can hold up. You want items that can take regular use and hold up against wear and tear. You also want to find objects that you can clean easily, especially if you're doing short-term rentals. While most people will take care of your things, accidents happen, so you want to make sure your welcoming décor will hold up over time.

Create Private, Cozy Spots

While you should have common areas where larger groups of people can gather, you also want to make sure there are private and cozy spots throughout your rental. You might include a cute little nook for those who like to cuddle up and read at night. Or, you could create a cozy porch ambiance for everyone to sit and enjoy nature or the sunrise. 

Add Games

Do vacationers visit your area for the hiking trails or the amusement parks? If people mostly come for outdoor adventures, there is always the chance that the weather will put a damper on their outdoor plans. With  games, your vacationers have a great way to occupy themselves until the weather passes. Adding something like a quality pool table would be an excellent way to make your rental stand out, but you could also add arcade games, ping pong tables or foosball tables.

Be Proud of Your Rental

When creating your rental listing, make sure you include pictures and a description of all the amenities your rental has to offer. You want to make sure clients know that your rental has all of these extra features. Take quality photos and update your description as needed to accommodate your new additions.
